Kon-TEC SMARTsync Management Module

Kon-TEC SMARTsync is an intelligent home energy management module designed to work with PV systems, photovoltaics, energy storage, heat pumps, heating systems, EV chargers and electrical loads in the building. It is a solution for users who want to make better use of their own renewable energy, reduce grid consumption and automate the operation of their home energy system.

The key elements that SMARTsync can work with include:

• PV and photovoltaics,
• energy storage system,
• home energy storage systems,
• heat pump,
• boiler and heating system,
• buffer tank and domestic hot water,
• EV charger,
• electrical loads in the home,
• Kon-TEC energy management system.

SMARTsync analyses system operation and helps make real-time decisions: when to charge the energy storage system, when to use energy from photovoltaics, when to activate the heat pump, heat domestic hot water, supply the boiler or power other important devices. As a result, the home energy system works in a more predictable, efficient and automated way.

In practice, the module can support:

• increased self-consumption of PV energy,
• better use of the energy storage system,
• reduced grid energy consumption,
• heat pump operation control,
• heating and domestic hot water management,
• preparation for dynamic electricity tariffs.

A modern home consumes more and more electricity: heating, heat pump, boiler, ventilation, air conditioning, EV charging, household appliances, monitoring, router, lighting and smart home automation. At the same time, electricity prices are changing, while PV production depends on weather conditions and the time of day.

The largest household energy loads often include:

• heat pump,
• boiler and heating system,
• domestic hot water preparation,
• air conditioning and ventilation,
• home appliances and electronics,
• EV charger,
• lighting,
• devices operating continuously, such as router, monitoring and alarm system.

Without intelligent control, part of the energy from PV may be exported to the grid when its value is low, while the house draws power from the grid when electricity is more expensive. The Kon-TEC SMARTsync home energy management module helps match production, consumption and energy storage. In practice, this means higher self-consumption, better use of the home energy storage system and greater control over energy bills.

SMARTsync helps users manage energy more effectively by:

• using PV surplus energy inside the home,
• limiting unprofitable energy export to the grid,
• charging the energy storage system at optimal times,
• activating devices when energy is cheapest or available from PV,
• increasing independence from changing energy prices.

This is especially important in installations with home energy storage, a heat pump, buffer tank, underfloor heating, domestic hot water and other loads that can be activated at the most cost-effective time. SMARTsync supports energy management for photovoltaics in an automatic and predictable way, adapted to real operating conditions.

The module is especially useful in homes where the following elements work together:

• photovoltaics,
• energy storage system,
• heat pump,
• boiler or additional heating source,
• buffer tank,
• underfloor heating,
• domestic hot water,
• EV charger.

Kon-TEC SMARTsync is a solution for users who think not only about savings, but also about energy security. In times of blackout risk, grid failures, power outages, rising energy prices and geopolitical instability, more homeowners are looking for backup power for the home and greater independence from the grid.

In this context, important user needs and search intentions include:

• blackout,
• home backup power,
• emergency power supply,
• home energy storage,
• off-grid,
• power backup,
• energy security,
• energy independence,
• protection against power outages.

For people who think in a preparedness-oriented way and want to protect their home against crisis situations, war, lack of electricity or sudden energy price increases caused by international conflicts, control over their own energy is becoming increasingly important. Photovoltaics, an energy storage system and intelligent energy management can help create a home system that supports key loads and devices: heating, boiler, heat pump, refrigerator, lighting, router, monitoring, alarm system and essential household equipment.

The most important household devices users usually want to protect include:

• heating,
• boiler,
• heat pump,
• refrigerator,
• lighting,
• router and internet,
• monitoring,
• alarm system,
• essential sockets,
• medical or specialist devices, if used at home.

SMARTsync helps manage energy so that PV production is used as effectively as possible, the energy storage system is charged at the right time and the home is better prepared for situations when grid electricity is expensive, unstable or unavailable. It is not only a matter of comfort. It is part of home energy resilience.

With this approach, the user can gain:

• greater control over home energy,
• better use of their own photovoltaics,
• greater readiness for power outages,
• lower dependence on energy prices,
• greater peace of mind in crisis situations.

SMARTsync supports efficient energy management in the building by analysing PV production, household energy demand, energy storage operation, outside temperature, expected weather conditions and the current operating mode of the installation.

The module can take into account, among other things:

• PV energy production,
• current household energy consumption,
• energy storage state of charge,
• outside temperature,
• weather forecast,
• heat pump operation,
• domestic hot water demand,
• current installation operating mode.

Based on the analysed data, the system can plan the use of PV energy for self-consumption, charging and discharging of the energy storage system, heat pump operation, domestic hot water preparation, use of a buffer tank or underfloor heating as a form of heat storage, reduction of grid energy consumption and reduction of energy export at less profitable times.

SMARTsync can support:

• using PV energy for self-consumption,
• charging the energy storage system,
• discharging the energy storage system at the right time,
• heat pump operation,
• domestic hot water preparation,
• buffer tank operation,
• using underfloor heating as thermal storage,
• reducing grid energy consumption,
• reducing energy export,
• system operation with dynamic tariffs in mind.

Thanks to SMARTsync, the user does not have to manually decide when to use energy, when to store it and when to power specific devices. The system works automatically and supports daily optimisation of the entire installation.

This means greater convenience, because the system can automatically manage:

• PV production,
• energy storage,
• household energy consumption,
• heat pump operation,
• domestic hot water preparation,
• loads that can be activated at selected times.

By purchasing Kon-TEC SMARTsync from Kon-TEC, you choose a solution designed for the Kon-TEC ecosystem: energy storage systems, PV installations, inverters, renewable energy systems and devices supporting intelligent energy management. This is important because the module itself is only one part of a larger system. Proper device selection, configuration, compatibility and technical support are equally important.

At Kon-TEC, you can benefit from:

• system selection for a specific installation,
• technical support,
• knowledge of compatibility with energy storage systems,
• experience in PV and renewable energy systems,
• the possibility to build one coherent energy system,
• support for the installer.

Kon-TEC provides experience in energy storage, photovoltaics and hybrid home energy systems. The customer receives not only a device, but also support in system selection, cooperation with an installer and access to technical knowledge from a provider of energy solutions.

This is especially important when the system includes several cooperating elements:

• PV,
• energy storage system,
• inverter,
• heat pump,
• boiler,
• EV charger,
• energy management system,
• household loads.

It is a good choice for users who want to build one integrated system: PV, energy storage, heat pump, boiler, EV charger and intelligent home energy management. This allows the installation to work not as a set of separate devices, but as one well-designed home energy system.
